NFL Scout: UNC's Mitch Trubisky is 'top two or three' draft pick

Posted Feb 11, 2017
UNC quarterback Mitch Trubisky's lack of experience is concerning for NFL scouts, but it might not be enough to keep him from being the first quarterback selected in the NFL draft. In fact, an AFC scout believes Trubisky's draft stock will rise such that he could be selected No. 2 or 3 overall. "He's the guy, a Top 2 or 3 pick. A lot of teams like him up there." (NFL.com)
